What is Panopto?

Panopto is a lecture caption tool used in the classrooms and personal recordings

Panopto is the lecture capture solution that is currently being implemented in the classrooms at UC Hastings by Media Services. Panopto provides a college hosted media server for videos related to teaching and learning. UC Hastings' Panopto media server services also provides an easy to use presentation personal capturing software that allows users to record, edit, and share recordings.

Instructors can record live lectures, demonstrations, and/or supplemental materials.

Panopto is integrated with Blackboard so videos may be viewed only by users enrolled in a Blackboard Course or made public for anyone to view.

Please keep in mind that the classroom audio lecture capture system is not set up to openly share audio recordings unless the professor requests this of Media Services. These recordings remain private. The classroom audio capture portion of the system is completely different from the process outlined below that will allow faculty to record video lectures from their computer, publish them to the media server and then share the videos to students within their course.

If you want more training on both basic and advanced topics, it is highly recommended that you sign up for one of Panopto's upcoming free seminars. Webinars are available twice a month (2nd and 4th Wednesday) from 11:00 - 12:00 EST.

The Basic Training Webinar is designed for new users and beginners who would like to learn how to use the Panopto software. The Advanced Webinar covers a specific topic and is designed for users with an understanding of Panopto's basic functionality and use.

Allows instructors (and students) to take notes while viewing presentation.

Notes and PowerPoint slides are automatically searchable.

Internet connection not required to record content.
